We celebrate our nation’s birthday with a puzzle called “Pow Wow!” Some of you test-solved it on our other blog. For those who’ve solved it before — skip the puzzle and grab your first ice-cold July 4th beer.
But I suspect most of you will see this for the first time. You’ll need the latest free version of Adobe Reader to open the puzzle.
Detonate . . . er, click on the red-white-and-blue image (below) to open the PDF file. Print, solve and share.
Enjoy the holiday, one and all! Thanks so much for stopping by!
